What should I do while I am waitlisted?

[heavwhit]

By the end of this semester, I will be done with all my prerequisites and applying to the ADN program at Los Angeles Trade Technical College (LATTC). This school is my first choice because it is close to where I live and they have a collaborative program with CSULA so you can get your BSN in a year after you complete the ADN program. The downside is that they use a waitlist system so most people wait like 2 semesters but last I heard it was like 3 or 4 semesters. While I'm waiting what should I do to pass the time basically? I won't have any classes left to take because I'll finish my gen eds in the summer too. I'm already going to start volunteering at a hospital next week. Any suggestions will be helpful!

Angel from the office said you can start taking BSN prereq. classea.or study and get a headstart in pharmacology and patho.., but still how or what material should we use .. i was thinking of volunteering too, but i have 4 children idk how their schedules are for volunteering hmmmm... let me know what you do besides volunteering . Did you just go in person to ask if you can volunteer or is there a process?

Sorry for the late reply. I looked online at the hospital I was interested in to see their application process. I went with St. Francis in Lynwood because they don't require letters of recommendation or an interview. I called their office and went in person to complete an application. They'll basically accept anyone (after passing a background check and having up to date vaccinations). I finished volunteering in November and I completed 120 hours in 6 months.
